in reply to RFC: "Today I Learned" page

REALLY GOOD IDEA from my point of view. Just I can't see the dates. Unless it is made to start afresh each new day, in the spirit of Paco. Perhaps it can live on for some time? if resources are available.

    Just I can't see the dates.

    Mouse over the username for the timestamps (in server local time, not yours!).


    🦛

      Under normal conditions, I am reading and posting here in a desktop browser; but there are times when I'm just doing quick reading on my phone's Android Chrome browser, where long-press will show the ALT text for images, but not the TITLE text for links (at least, in my experience)

      jdporter, could you add a class attribute to the links with the title attributes (both here and on other pages that put the post-time in the title text, like Newest Nodes and RAT) -- something like <a class="hoverDate" ...> -- so that monks who want to show the dates without hovering can affect it in their Display Settings CSS, like:

      @media (pointer: coarse), (hover: none) { .hoverDate a:link:before { content: attr(title) ": "; font-size:75%; f +ont-family: monospace; } }

      Without the class -- which is how i tested to make sure it would affect my phone experience but not my desktop experience -- too many other links on normal pages have titles, and it gets really cluttered. But if I could limit it by class, I would be able to easily see the dates on TIL/NN/RAT, which would be great.

        ok, I added class="hoverDate" to the user links. Try it out and let me know how it goes. :-)
